05: Iced.

A chuckle escaped Jeno's lips as he brushed his teeth, remembering Siwon's question from only hours ago. "Do you like her?". He spat the tooth paste out, leaning onto the sink and scoffing. "Seriously, so fucking ridiculous." he almost threw the toothbrush into the cup, making it wobble, but he didn't care.

People always considered Jeno a guy who didn't shy of his choices in women. He enjoyed flirting and making girl's knees go numb at his sweet words that didn't mean a thing, but love was far from what he ever wanted. The only time he felt something close to it, he got burnt and never wanted to repeat the same mistake again. Love wasn't for everyone and it certainly wasn't for Jeno, and he thought that Siwon knew better.

After the refreshing shower and confusing thoughts, coffee was all Jeno craved. As soon as he left his room, he heard the TV on, as well as someone going through stuff in the kitchen. A sigh escaped his lips once he knew he'd have to face the two drunk idiots who once again used his hospitality to the max.

"Oh! Here he is!" Youngseo blurred out with a mouthful, wrapping his arm around his best friend.

Jeno forced a smile and continued to make his desired, caffeine filled, drink while Siwon appeared with a cup of one already in her hands, staring at the two boys without a word. Once the only noise and voices heard in the house came from TV, Youngseo backed away from his best friend, eyeing the two as if he sensed that he missed something big.

Jeno glanced at Siwon sipping her coffee with her eyes glued to him the whole time. "Are you feeling better?"

She only nodded, not really understanding the question. She was drunk, not sick, and definitely in her right mind.

Once Jeno turned to continue making his beverage, she couldn't help but scan him up and down. The way his still wet hair dripped onto his bare skin was giving her all kinds of thoughts she couldn't share with anyone. His perfectly shaped arms that'd always protect her from all the bad and his gorgeous abs made her want to trace her fingers all over it, day and night. Suddenly, a memory came back to remind about itself, making her zone out into the beauty of the past.

November, 2013.

"Guys, be careful out there, it's really slippery!"

"Yes, mom!" Jeno screamed, smiling from ear to ear as him and his two best friends in the world ran out of the vacation house they went to every year, in different seasons. This time, winter was the chosen one.

The young three musketeers ran around the huge backyard, throwing snowballs at each other and making angels in the snow. Laughter was all that was heard from miles away as their happiness was all the kids felt. They raced to see who'd make a bigger snowman faster and not knowing how - Siwon always won.

With the biggest smile painted on her face, she danced around, teasing the two boys for losing to a girl while being so happy she actually won. As she ran around without looking, suddenly, she stepped on a trail of ice.
